Maybe....

The magazine itself is terrific. But since I am going blind, I could no longer read the magazine and was no longer able to download it as previously. I called and found out the policy had changed. So here I am paying for a new digital subscription, and hoping it's OK. BUT it didn't start out well because it's rather fussy about passwords... requiring my Apple rather than Smithsonian password. I understand the need to keep non=payers out, but for those of us disabled, it becomes very difficult to keep this stuff straight. I don't put up with it from most digital magazines, but do with Smithsonian because the magazine is so good. Marie Barry, Beverly MA. 01915

The best general knowledge magazine in the universe

Please keep this going. For anyone curious about the world, your magazine is fabulous. Your contributors are the absolute best. You could do a bit more on India, though. We're over a billion people and a 3000 year old culture. Maybe we deserve a page or two? If you need contributors, let me know. I do comedy history.

Awful

Months have passed. Still no change. Terrible update. This app went from a great update to a basic PDF viewer. I've contacted Smithsonian several times to ask if it is going to be improved and have received no response. I'd cancel, but I can't even seem to do that from the "updated" app....

Lousy I want my money back

Here it is months later and I still can read the issues. Was once a great app, now it is ridiculous and frustrating

Horrible

The app has gone from user friendly to simply cheap and lazy. Sadly the authors probably don't read these comments, else a fix would have already been issued

Once great, now awful

Terrible update. I had been away from Smithsonian for several months and "disappointed" does not begin to describe what I experienced when I got back to reading, hoping to catch up on several months of unread issues. This is an awful, horrible, terrible, crummy update. It completely destroys the look and ease of reading the digital version. Smithsonian should be embarrassed by what they've done. One star rating is much, much higher than what it truly deserves.
Accounts Framework
The Accounts framework provides access to user accounts stored in the Accounts database. An account stores the login credentials of a particular service, such as Twitter, that can be used as authentication for the service. By implementing the Accounts framework into your app, you do not need to be responsible for storing account logins yourself. Instead, the user can grant access for your app to use their account login credentials, bypassing the need to type their username and password. If no account for a particular service exists in the user’s Accounts database, you can let them create and save an account from within your app.
Address Book
The Address Book framework provides access to a centralized contacts database, called the Address Book database, that stores a user’s contacts. Applications such as Mail and Messages use this database to present information about known and unknown persons.
AddressBookUI
The Address Book UI framework provides controllers that facilitate displaying, editing, selecting, and creating records in the Address Book database.
AdSupport
The Ad Support framework provides apps with access to an identifier that can be used only for serving advertisements, as well as a flag which indicates whether a user has limited ad tracking. Accessing the advertising identifier requires apps to read and honor the opt-out flag.
AFNetworking
AFNetworking is a networking library for iOS and Mac OS X. It's built on top of the Foundation URL Loading System, extending the powerful high-level networking abstractions built into Cocoa. It has a modular architecture with well-designed, feature-rich APIs that are a joy to use.
Altitude Framework
AudioKit
AudioToolbox
The Audio Toolbox framework provides interfaces for recording, playback, and stream parsing. In iOS, the framework provides additional interfaces for managing audio sessions.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
AVKit
Create view-level services for media playback, complete with user controls, chapter navigation, and support for subtitles and closed captioning.
